Slaughter Night aka SL8N8 DVD

ReelFear · 05-31-2007, 07:25 PM

Just picked this one up. A dutch horror film released by Tartan DVD. imagine My Bloody Valentine mixed with Evil Dead and you get the idea. Slaughter night wont win any contests for originality, but theres plenty of savage violence and buckets of blood to keep horror fans satisfied! i enjoyed the DVD and recommend it. 7 out of 10

I've been really wanting to see this film, but no rental store here got even a single in for some reason. Hastings has it to buy, and I was thinking about perhaps a blind buy...but I've read a few bad reviews on the net and in a couple of 'zines.

And no, I don't want Netflix, too much tempting potential to waste away even more hours there.

ReelFear, does a lot of the film take place in an abandoned mine or something like that?

Well,this never had my interest and I'm Dutch.
It's probably decent but it features an all-Soap-star cast who just get on my nerves.It's because of that I never want to see it!

yes, the film takes place in a mine which will surely remind you of My Boody Valentine.I didn't know who the cast was, but they did the job. There's a few dull stretches, but overall held my interest for the duration. worth a rental for sure. the gore FX are very well done.

I grabbed it on the DD sale, and I can't say that I was disappointed.

It wasn't the greatest, but it was fun down in the mine setting and all. The only real complaint I had against the film was the s-s-s-s-shaky camera movements at times, which were obviously intentional and didn't work at all. It interrupted enjoying the film, and you couldn't help to stop and think: "Who came up with this idea?". It wasn't just jerky, it was like a 12.5 on the richter scale.
